Why HIC
Most board shorts make you choose: the look or the build.
- Cheap print trunksThe island look, made to last a vacation, not a season.
- Big surf labelsSolid build, with the same logo graphics on every beach.
- HIC, since 1971Hawaiian Islands-inspired designs on surf-grade stretch fabric. You don't have to pick.
The stretch
Stretch that moves the way you do.
Most board shorts stretch four ways: side to side and up and down. HIC's 8-way Octo Stretch adds the diagonals, so the fabric gives when you pop up, paddle or dive for a ball instead of pulling at the seams.
